The temperature’s dropped but the queues ain’t!

A buffet can bring so much to a wedding especially in terms of variety, informality, and cost but to make this crucial part of the wedding successful here’s a few tips to consider.

💌 have enough room for at least 2 stations! The dinner queue is the absolute worse thing in a wedding if guests have so wait too long to get their food.
If you’re inviting up to 100 wools and you have the space and depending on the menus you need at least 4 tables with servers and someone to direct.

Let this be another wonderful addition to your wedding and not a nightmare.

Book enough waiters! more if your serving both hot and cold dishes.

Be aware of accurate food temperatures especially for seafood and egg and dairy dishes which should not be left out without proper consideration. Ideally your caterer should be on hand if not instructions for the handling of each dish should be noted and kept to.

Let your guests know the menu especially if you have guests with allergies or those who prefer and only eat certain foods. There needs to be something for everyone and not just vegetables.

Cut ✂️ the queues and leave more time for fun!

Wedding Day Wednesday!

Couldn’t wait to show case this beautiful couple captured enchantingly by . Stunning doesn’t do this bride and groom justice. Their intimate wedding had all the trappings of an epic celebration held at Sint Laurenskerk in the Netherlands.

Stay tuned with more photos to follow!

What’s to be an epic feature of your intimate wedding? Every wedding needs at least one! This wedding of less than 20 people was held in a huge cathedral making it seriously epic! But instead of a huge dress she chose one just as stunning by the super talented j.andreatta_ a dress that look ms good at all angles.

Wedding Tip Tuesday!

Remember or ever heard of the hit summer song by Saweetie called My Type?

Well this is the question that every Wedding Planner at some stage in the process of organising your wedding will ask you. We may also use the word vision or style but it really buckles down to how you see your wedding. 👀

Don’t get me wrong BUDGET is super high on the list too and we’ve covered this in more than one of our Tips, (scroll dow) however the type of wedding you envisage will not change depending on the budget. It may decrease in size, it may not have all the elements you first wanted at first but if you’ve always dreamed of getting married in a castle you’re at least going to make that work even with an elopement and two guests one of them being your ceremony officianado!

The type or style of wedding you want will also help you look at it realistically within your budget.
Your type of wedding will also help you and your wedding planner marry all the other parts of your wedding together so that there is a seamless run through it from start to finish.
Does your flowers match your venue the dress you’ve chosen what about the music does that seamless run through the occasion? You can have different genres in your wedding but you’ve got to make it work to prevent it looking like a mishmash of ideas.
So what’s your type🤷🏾‍♀️

Yes there are lots of resources especially on line and in magazines etc so take the time to hone down on how you envision your wedding.
And when your Wedding Planner asks what Style of wedding we’re you thinking of you can reply like confidently like Saweetie and say. My type…😂

What a beautiful Day ☀️
It is!
Here’s wishing YOU a Happy Easter as you enjoy time with friends and family or even time alone in gratitude.

Easter like spring is a time of new life, a time of reflection when we can look forward to old things being done away with and new things sprouting in and around us. 🙏🏽

Life sometimes throws a curve ball but Easter is another reminder for us to increase in faith and NOT to lose hope.

We rejoice with all our friends, clients and followers. Wishing you an amazing day.

Not Again! 🤦🏾‍♀️😃

Every time I see this pic I laugh. Swipe…

Because sometimes it’s so true! A seasoned wedding planner will brief you about your guest numbers when they become aware of your budget. I love intimate weddings but I’m also about the experience and Intimate weddings are not chosen to keep the cost down‼️Fact.
What’s actually worse is when the guest list is so large and the budget so small that a huge guest list just seems pointless!

There are so many reason not to invite someone to what will be one of the most special days of your life and the budget is just only one.

However if the truth be known the higher the guest list the higher the budget and that goes for luxury or budget weddings. Fact‼️

Let’s be honest; when you think about your family gatherings and celebrations with your close group of friends you’ll have an idea. Guest lists have changed since C19😷 and the recent economic crisis 💵

Having to start trimming down your list every week due to the budget is mega stressful!
Believe🙃 Do think ahead as it will save you many hours of sleep!

And it’s also adding to the list too. Even when you do have the budget. Why? You might have to change vendors or the venue? This could mean starting all over again. It’s not always as simple as it sounds. An additional 5 people might be okay but 10, 20 or even 50 could mean not only throwing out the budget but in changing the date; especially if your venues can’t accommodate you. Yes you’ll find alternatives but they might not be what you want. You’re likely to be charged additional payments if it means that your wedding plans have changed to the point that ALL the planning that was done is suddenly no longer relevant! 🤷🏾‍♀️💵

If you haven’t even been proposed to but you’ve already chosen the dress even in your mind lol 😂 you might as well start thinking about the guest list! Then you just need to add to it when they do! Win win 😂

Enjoy your wedding planning process. Don’t be caught out.

Top Tip Tuesday!

A good party is never a good party when it has to end abruptly! 😩

I’m happy to say that the experienced Wedding Planners & Coordinators always ask the important questions during meetings with your vendors; however if you’re handling them yourself please be aware that there IS a difference! Not only could it mean the sudden end to a great party but it could also mean you losing your deposit so don’t be hit twice‼️

When do you have to be out of the hall Is not the same as what time does the hall close Or from what time do we have to have cleared the hall? Here’s the difference:

Only your vendors mostly your hard ware decor suppliers and the on site caterers will know how long it will take to set up and take down their apparatus. You need to ASK them and the venue and then factor in that time in the CONTRACT So If you only have 2 people to set up for 100 guests in a 2 hour span it’s time to bring in the big guys or your guests won’t be in for another 2 hrs. I remember as a guest waiting over 2 hrs because the vendors were only allowed 2 hours to create the decor that they thought they had 5 hours to complete🤷🏾‍♀️

But it’s worse when the party’s popping and the janitor comes round with …erm hope you know we’re shutting the building in 45 mins and you say I thought that’s when it had to end! What happens next (if the janitor is tired and not in a giving mood is absolute mayhem! 🤦🏾‍♀️

Unfortunately I’ve seen this happen as a guest where the grooms men are trying to offer some money to stay an extra half hour or people just rushing around.

If you have a good time line complete with good contracts this should ALL be ironed out and reinforced before and on the day!

Party time is NOT the time for less than funny surprises.

It doesn’t matter how big or small your guest list is- just DON’T be caught out!

Pampas Heaven! 👌🏾

It wasn’t difficult for me to look at the decor for Anton and Sarah’s wedding and think wow! This is a wedding that oozed bags of style without being overdone! It was classic, yet rustic and boho and the element on show was the humble Pampas Grass!

It was extremely popular in the late 20’teens and seemed to quieten down a bit after lockdown but kudos to the designers, florists and vendors here because I’m sure they understood the assignment bringing some winter wedding vibes too. I would have loved to look at the brief

Is pampass grass a contender at your wedding? Would you go all out or just incorporate small pieces here and there?

Wedding Dress Wednesday always comes through!

Intimate weddings don’t shy away from the big just because the guest count is smaller no!
Intimate weddings for us are all about the experience. If you want to wear the dress of your dreams in front of your closest and dearests why not? Make an entrance by bringing the big to the small your way! But be prepared to either go to the gym or get some else with the muscles to carry it💪💪🏾😂

Where would you choose to go big at your intimate wedding? Let me know below👇🏾

Lights set go!!

As the evenings turn darker lighting needs to be addressed in a different manner? Are you speaking to your wedding, venue or lighting expert to discuss this? You should be. This beautiful photo by the talented shows what lighting can do! And although this was a destination wedding lighting is important wherever you are and the wrong type of lighting can actually make or break an event! So gets your lights on! 💡💡
Buts It’s also about the type of lights that fit your theme to the colour of the light best for the different sections of your wedding eg at different parts within your marquee, the lights at the venue’s bar, the lights on the dance floor and especially the lights where your vows are taking place. Lights can be turned down for a more romantic feeling or to turn up the heat for a vibe!
Let your planners know the time and space of where lighting is needed at your wedding. Don’t be caught out in the dark 👻

Wedding Dress Wednesday is back!

Today we are loving this magnificent ensemble by .
We are all about bringing the drama to intimate weddings and this one shrieks modern elegance! I could say simplicity but it’s not. There is actually a lot of detail in this dress; from the feathers but also in the cut and just the way it drapes off the body. This is a dress that will make anyone look great.

We are thinking a modern venue, hotel or marquee or the second dress in a castle wedding or 20’s theme.
We love, what do you think? Yay or Nay?

Celebrations come in so many different forms; whether it be a wedding, an engagement, a graduation or promotion, the passing away of a loved one, pet, family, member or Queen of The United Kingdom

The nation, Commonwealth and the world over have pondering over the life of and celebrating the reign of this extraordinary woman.

And today we especially come together in so many different forms; putting everything that makes us different aside to stand together and wish her farewell. This is what makes us a great nation

RIP 👑Elizabeth II

Monday Inspo! 👀

Summer is softly planning a walk out. She ain’t got time for cold mornings and dark nites!

But she’s definitely got time for a few more intimate weddings before she lets Autumn take over and beach weddings are at the top of her list! It just depends when and where. Obviously If you’re not thinking GB you must be thinking destination

So if you’re planning an intimate wedding before the end of summer; it’s time to pull your Pinterest board and WP together and start mapping out a time line …but do be quick cos she ain’t hanging about!

So get planning; you might find out that life’s a beach! 😉 🏖

Peek A Boo!

This week’s Wedding Dress Wednesday featured a delicate and intricate part of a bride’s outfit.
Once you’ve decided to wear one it’s then often down to size, colour, shape and texture to mention a few. And this is where the super created Daisy Sheldon from Daisy Sheldon Embroidery comes in. Her veils have been featured in bridal fashion shows, magazines and on TV. She has a wealth of knowledge and a veil for every bride including those brides that are having a fusion or cultural wedding.
So whether you want to go through the process of creating a bespoke veil or you want to personalise one thst you already have, don’t be afraid to have that conversation to create something special.

Sheer Elegance!

A stunning dress like this will always hold its own. Sewn with such artistry that every detail of this dress and it’s accessories shine through. There’s a lot going on yet it looks so simple but to the well trained eye it attracts attention! Have you seen the details on the sleeve or noticed the way the bow has been tied? Did you lock in the neck line?
The material? ( duchess satin) 🤷🏾‍♀️😊 or the shape of the dress ? 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾

She looks Absolutely stunning! The somewhat architectural look of the dress called for a soft gooey makeup and allows the styled veil to add the softness needed.
It works! We love!

And this is the beauty of cultural weddings. It’s Fatishaaba’s Nikkai, the wedding ceremony present in ALL traditional Muslim weddings.
Some brides (couples) may also do a registry wedding and even a church wedding and reception for a well planned Fusion wedding. We do all and encourage our brides to embrace everything important to them for their wedding 😍

Monday Inspo!
Loving this intimate wedding set up. Informal yet classy.
Is glamour but relaxed a category? 😂

Intimate weddings should be all about the experiences within all the ceremonies.

Think about what you want yourselves and your guests to experience as you leave one place and enter another.

The experience here, is in the cosy set up and glamorous yet understated decor.

Intimate weddings mean you’ll have to think outside box to avoid gaps within your day that may not be as obvious at a larger wedding.

Let’s think it through.

It’s the dress for me!

Wedding Dress Wednesday!

Today’s dress got me thinking ruffles but with a architectural vibe.

This is definitely for the bride that wants to make a demure statement.
Imagine the movement of the material as she walks down the aisle. 👀
